Engaging Students with Poverty in Mind: Practical Strategies for Raising Achievement by Eric Jensen
4.0
This book definitely changed my attitudes that I held about the students I teach in a high-poverty school. It gave me the kick in the pants I needed to start intentionally being more positive in the classroom. Last year I got really bogged down by bad behavior, and this book reframed it for me and made me believe that it’s possible to teach high-poverty students and have them see as much success as their more affluent peers.
The one thing I did not enjoy about this book? The way the end moved so slowly. I felt that there were parts in the last 2 chapters that could have been cut out and it would not have changed anything about the overall message Jensen was trying to get across to teachers. But overall, I’m glad I read it; it’s making me excited to start planning to have a great year!
